Look for new Advocate beat writers in football and baseball next season with Ross Dellenger off to Sports Illustrated and Luke Johnson joining NOLA.com on Saints beat.
Both did tremendous jobs and will be missed.

It sounds like rats abandoning a sinking ship.

How bad are subscriptions down outside of New Orleans?

To a national sports media organization and from covering SU football and LSU baseball to a NFL team. Seems more like huge promotions.

Sports Illustrated is a greener pasture, but nola.com or anything Times-Picayune related has worse job security than being in Trump's cabinet. They have fired a ton of people (including TP lifers over the last few years).

Larry Leo's agent is in discussions with them.

Not many have good job security with any newspaper but getting NFL beat writer on your resume is a very big check mark.

God help us. You can't expect folks with functional equivalence of a junior high education to be good journalists.

Hey douchebags, how does this correlate to our coaching and AD? Only the worst of the worst could find that in this news

Are you serious Clark?

He’s calling the advocate a sinking ship, not LSU football. You’re a little sensitive about this aren’t you?

Smells political. Like libs being great business people. They just up the price to make up for losing subscribers because they are too expensive for the product you get.

My bad, if I'm wrong. I live in lake charles so I don't know much about the advocate.

I've heard they are in intense negotiations to pull lead YouTube sports reporter Kige in.

I'm sure that he wouldn't come, but Scooter Hobbs from the American Press is great on LSU sports.

Damn. I was really enjoying his coverage of LSU baseball. This sucks.
